The President's speech on Afghanistan and Pakistan begins in a few minutes. This thread is for anyone who wants to discuss the speech, the plan, or what New Jersey's Senators and Representatives should do.

Actually, thanks to the White House press office, I can tell you it is a well-written speech. What I am not convinced of is that it is a good policy. I hope the President really begins to withdraw in July 2011.

You're younger than me! If you're in the old farts club, what does that make me?

wah ...!

It's not a particularly snappy signature, but here's what I think we need in the next NJ Democratic State Chair.

Having children automatically adds 10 years per child to our chronological ages. So, make the most of your youth. Ours is gone.

Has Rush Holt issued a statement on Afghanistan? (0.00 / 0)

I would like to know whether he agrees or disagrees with the troop increase and the plans discussed in the speech. I would like to hear an educated opinion rather than all of the rhetoric flying around out West.
